SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 618,835, dated February 7, 189g..

Application tiled April 19,1898. Serial No. 678,143. (No model.)

ings, which form a part of this specification.

This invention has relation to an improvementin pumps, the object being to provide a neat and simple device especially adapted to the use of bar-keepers, druggists, and storekeepers, and embodies a simple pump to be used in conjunction with a cask or bottle, so

` that the liquid therein can be quickly removed.

In the accompanying drawings I have shown in Figure l an ordinary bottle provided with my improvement, showing the-same as used as a pump, while in Fig. 2 I show my device as used in connection with a barrel or cask, the device acting as a siphon and embodying the same.

My invention embodies, essentially, a stopper 2, preferably of rubber and of any suitable size, which is intended to be inserted into the neck of a bottle or the hole of a cask or barrel to procure an air-tight ittin g. Extending through this stopper 2 is an ordinary gooseneck 8, of any suitable size or material, which below is provided with an extension 9, which may form a part of the gooseneck or be secured thereto in the form of a rubber tube. Passing through the stopper is a second tube provided with anv ordinary air-bulb 7, secured thereto by means of the flexible tube 6, and positioned above the stopper is a valve 5, provided With a suitable openingli, as is shown in Fig. l. In place of the airbulb 7 an ordinary pump of any construction could be used. This would embody my invention, and in order to be used in connection with a bottle, cask, or any other suitable retion with a cask or barrel which it is desired v to empty, it is simply necessary to prolong the gooseneck 8, which is done by connecting to the same an ordinary-section of rubber tube l0, which is permitted to enter the cask when the pump is actuated until the i'luid finds an escape through the tube 10, when by promptly disconnecting the tube 6 a Siphon would have been created,which will run as long as the air is permitted to feed through the tube 3.

In Fig. 2 I have shown my device as being used as a Siphon. The pump is especially adapted to be used in connection with a demijohn and bottles from which liquid is t0 be vended.

NOW, having thus described my said invention, what I desire to secure by United State Letters Patent is The combination with a iiexible stopper 2, provided with two openings, of a goosenecked tube 8 extending through said stopper, the flexible extension 9 securedlto said tube 8, below the stopper, the stub-tube 3 passing through said stopper, the air-bulb 7 secured to said stub 3 by means of the flexible tube 6, and the valve 5 positioned above said stopper 2, and closing the opening 4 Within said stub-tube 3.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

FRANK BOWEN.
